Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be released in beta form beginning on Thursday. In order to make sure you can participate in the month long beta, you need to preorder the game online I would suggest for those in the US gamestop.com or Electronic Arts Online store in Canada. All the providers are listed here: http://badcompany2.ea.com/#/reserve-limited-edition but only some of those are taking part in the beta. Details are also posted in our forum. Look forward to trying it out with those of you who are participating, looks like it will be a fun game.
